Hello there, Welcome!

I am a Doctoral Candidate at Department of Earth & Environment at Boston University.

I investigate large-scale ocean atmosphere interactions associated with Kuroshio Extension variations and their linkages with marine heatwaves, advised by Prof. Bruce Anderson.

Current Highlight

This summer, I worked as an Earth System Science Intern at National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to investigate Kuroshio Extension and atmospheric relations using CESM model data. I was mentored by Dr. Anna-Lena Deppenmeier
